Over the Mountains

On Wednesday moved out of St Guilhem into the mountain for several days. First stop Montpeyroux. The mountain trails were narrower than anything we saw in Spain - real mountain switchbacks, fields of scree, the sort of trails we have lots of near our home in Arizona.  Got to Montpeyroux with the few hotels totally booked but after some misadventure found a Gite Pelerin - place that rents beds just to pilgrims for the night. No sign, no directions and no English.  But the mercado was open so we fixed dinner and found a bottle of wine with which to drink to the life of our dear friend, Bob Boatwright, who died yesterday while we were on the trail.  Life and the Way goes on... but we do not forget.

  1. So very sad to hear of Bob's passing. He was such a kind and gentle man, and we too will remember the marvelous time we had with them on our Norwegian adventure. We share your grief...
